Still, I said that I wanted to work on the Church's twelve step program, one issue or topic per month. This month is almost over and I've only managed to closely look at one of the twelve scriptures or talks that the Church recommends.
So I'm going to post them here so that you can take control over your own life, even if I am unable to control myself. I'm hoping to look at these before months' end, but I've learned to set my expectations low, especially when it comes to myself.
The Church recommends that we examine Honesty with relation to our food addiction, and suggests that, in addition to the Flaxen Cords (2 Nephi 26:22), the following resources can be helpful:
- I Am Weak ~ Alma 26:11-12
- Passion Unbridled~ 3 Nephi 12:30
- Pride ~ Alma 38:12
- God's Authority ~ Helaman 12:6
- Temptations ~ 2 Nephi 4:18-21
- "Addiction or Freedom" ~ Ensign, November 1988, 6
- Man is Nothing ~ Moses 1:10
- Hunger and Thirst ~ Enos 1:4
- "We Believe In Being Honest" ~ Ensign, October 1990, 2
- Compelled To Be Humble ~ Alma 32:13
- The Lord's Delight ~ Proverbs 12:22
Skinny Man is heading out of town this week and after reading this list, I really want to read these scriptures and articles and apply them to my life. I know I'll feel better if let Heavenly Father help me. Maybe while he's gone, I'll try to read them and meditate on them.
Then again, maybe I won't. I said, no promises, right?
